Software Specification
LUSAS LNG Tank System
A specialised LNG tank
analysis and design system which includes all of the elements, material models, modelling,
analysis and results processing capabilities of LUSAS
Civil & Structural plus
with additional facilities to allows engineers to automatically
create a range of models of full containment circular tanks from
user-defined parameters. From these models, a range of analyses
can be performed, and design checks can be optionally carried
out for specified load combinations.
Analysis capabilities
- Linear static stress
